View Thread: Need expert Yugo advice


Aug's Dad
I have a Yugo underfolder with a stamped receiver. APEX has a front end assembly that is a milled receiver. I would like to have some spare parts for my Yugo. Would the bolt, top cover, recoil spring, gas tube from this milled receiver fit my stamped receiver?

I'm no expert, but I know a little on the Yugo Kalashnikovs. Yes, all the parts you mentioned will fit.

If it's the M70 milled front end the barrel will also fit a stamped M70.

Some of these front ends are in better shape than their kits. I bought one and it was really nice, its a great deal for spares but top cover latches, Yugo Selectors and other parts a rarer than hen's teeth if you want to build a rifle.

Only if its a press in type M70 barrel. The thread in milled M70 barrels with not fit.

On a milled M70 with press in barrel everything is the same minus the recievor, underfolding stock, gas block, gas tube, and bolt and carrier. All will interchange but they are not the same parts. There will be mainly cosmetic diffrences but everything save the front sight base will interchange just fine. The milled thread in M70's use a diffrent front sight base with a diffrent profile and pin locations/sizes.

top cover on a stamped yugo is cut differenty than on a milled yugo...it'll fit, but it looks funny.
